1. big diffrence..yankees over pay to get good...pats are good with guy off the street..thats coaching
2. Neither they are just the newest dynasty. Like the 49ers, Cowboys and Steelers of there days.
3. Kinda like the yankees you can say but nfl wise they really are a Dynasty meaning they are just like The Steelers 70's,49ers 80's,and Cowboys,90's the patriots should be the Patriots 00 or something like that because they have a Great QB and COACH.
4. I agree with the other answers. The Patriots are subject to a league imposed spending cap, which they did not even reach this year. They let Deion Branch, David Givens, Willie McGinest and Adam Vinatieri go rather than pay them more than they thought they were worth. That is the anti-Yankees. The Yankees will still be paying for the Big Unit even though he will be pitching in Arizona. They would pay you to take A-Rod off their hands too. Robert Kraft, Scott Pioli and Bill Bellichik don't do things like that.
5. I don't think so, but they are becoming a dynasty, and Tom Brady has an opprotunity to do something that 2 other QB's have ever done and that's win 4 Superbowls. I think the Patriots emphasize what a team is. They have a team attitude and not a bunch of I's. They have lost some big names to free agency and are still winning.
6. Some people dislike them because of their success, but they're almost the anti-Yankees. The Yankees overspend on superstars, while the Patriots take lesser talents (Kevin Faulk, Troy Brown, etc.) and turn them into a Super Bowl-winning machine.
